~ Good Morning Community with Love in my heart ~

~ I was up and awake at 5 a.m. this morning ~ I noticed aliveness in the atmosphere ~ Mother Ocean stirring in the distance and

I thought of Her lapping the shore day and night and tomorrow and day after and into all the days and nights that follow~.

She is in perfect rhythm with the Sun, Moon, Planets/Stars and our Universe among Universes far

beyond our notions of what constitutes our comprehensive knowing~.

~ I suddenly felt the contrast of the vast empty space I was exploring with a sense of unlimited presence

when my 6:00 a.m. alarm sounded and I was suddenly startled as though shocked into this reality as I jumped out of bed with morning words~.

~ My morning Prayer has been a spoken, whispered tradition since I was in my 20’s:

“I greet this day with Love in my heart”

❤️

…then, a chain of thoughts suddenly appeared like a train pulling into the station, steaming and whistling with it’s immense weight

pressed against the steel tracks~. I was suddenly reminded of the emails streaming in with pleas of who to vote for, as though the weight of

fear that tipped the fingers of the sender would be the All of Everything dependent upon something to be decided with a very specific choice~.

~ Then I suddenly felt the pain of those with disappointment who have put their all into political proselytizing and hope, who are to be disappointed,

heart broken and emotionally disturbed, distraught, angered etc. And oh the judgements that are sure to follow with even more

distain than has already colored the ethers with name calling and negative vibrations~.

~ Suddenly, the thought of those with rejoicing hearts and minds were present in my morning rumination as well ~ The fortunate, so called “winners", in this realm

of duality ~ that somehow like the Sun, Moon, Planets/Stars and our Universe among Universes are in perfect balance.

~ So, I went Swimming in the early morning NEW LIGHT

Stay in the Light and Talk to the Water

Only Love, Ron

~~~~~~~~Below is a beautiful morning piece that inspired me to write my thoughts above~.

Hola Relatives -

 I can’t help but be aware of, as I am sure you are as well, the increasing fear-fueled tension in the energy field as we move closer to the soon-to-be upon us elections, noticing our own feelings and what we hear from those around us.  Tension brings contraction, tightness, harder to breath, harder to be open and relaxed given the possible outcomes of whatever way the election and its aftermath goes.  Facing into the abyss of the unknown, outcomes in bigger hands.

This morning lying in bed with sunlight streaming in through the window as I did my early morning thanksgiving prayers and meditations, three thought waves came through that I offer as stimulus for reflection that might help release reactivity, open the mind, soften the body, open the heart and sooth the soul, though for sure not the ego.

First a question -

With such fear of death so prevalent in these trying times, what if, we are already dead and are existing in a bardo state to work out what ever we need to work out for release from the tunnel returning back home into the Bliss of Infinite Oneness from whence we came but forgot when birthed into our human incarnation?

Second a poem from Nancy Wood’s book, Many Winters

We are not important
Our lives are simply threads
Pulling along the lasting thoughts
Which travel through time that way

(wondering what the “lasting thoughts” are for you?)

Last, a seasonal relevant poem,  “Autumn”, by Rainer
 Maria Rilke to empower faith in these challenging times.

The leaves are falling, falling as from far.
as though above were withering farthest gardens;
they fall with a denying attitude.

And night by night, down into solitude,
the heavy earth falls far from every star.

We are all falling. This hand’s falling too —
all have this falling sickness none withstands.

And yet there’s One whose gently-holding hands
this universal falling can’t fall through

Remembering the Underlying Oneness in which we all live may we also remember that no matter what happens each of us has the ability to create a response to it that helps us grow in the ways we want to grow, hopefully bringing more healing light and love into the world for Greatest Good Healing of the Sacred Hoop of Life we are gifted to live in

All Blessings.
love, tomás
